These training materials are currently utilized by DIVNPT’s Leadership Competency Development Program (LCDP) to conduct one course to the workforce. The DIVNPT employees who instruct the class have been certified by TRACOM to be instructors. The intent of this procurement is for the Corporate Operations Department to provide this course to all of its government employees in response to DEOCS and OMM results. This will be one time procurement by Corporate Operations to accomplish this goal. Using the TRACOM materials is required to ensure that appropriate copyright, trademark and instructor education is followed and that the same material is being learned as is taught in the LCDP.

Therefore, it is in the best interest of the government to solicit this requirement on a sole source only bas
